Abstract

I started using Facebook in early 2010 to communicate with students as I saw the potential to communicate quickly and efficiently and to be able to use social networking as a platform to further develop a course culture. I have also noticed the increased student usage of social networking as primary means of communication within their social circles and the speed at which information was being accessed and responded to via mobile interfaces.
